"The Desert Fox" (1951) Mason gives an excellent interpretation of World War II General Erwin Rommel, a role he reprised two years later in "The Desert Rats." This film is included in the opening night of Turner Classic Movies' "Star of the Month" tribute to Mason on Thursday, Nov. 3. "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1952) Stewart Granger has the principal role – actually, roles, since he plays lookalikes – but Mason also is prominent as a scheming rival for power over a country.

"Island in the Sun" (1957) Race and politics cause tension on a Caribbean island for various people, including the characters played by Mason and Harry Belafonte. "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1959) Mason plays the professor who leads the expedition to – well, check the title again – in this imaginative retelling of the classic Jules Verne tale. "North by Northwest" (1959) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, a wonderfully smooth and unsettling Mason plays a villain who makes things tough for an advertising man (Cary Grant) he mistakes for a spy. "Lolita" (1962) Stanley Kubrick's film of the controversial Vladimir Nabokov novel casts Mason as a college professor captivated by the vastly younger title character (Sue Lyon). "The Blue Max" (1965) Mason plays a World War I general whose wife (Ursula Andress) becomes involved with a pilot (George Peppard) in this involving adventure- drama. "Georgy Girl" (1966) Lynn Redgrave has the title role in this internationally popular comedy-drama, the would-be mistress of an older man (Mason).
